< Esther 7 >

1 Hiti chun lengpa le Haman chu lengnu Esther golvahna ankong a dingin ache lhontai.
So the king and Haman went to drink with Queen Esther.
2 Anivei channa kin ahin ankong aum uva ju adonpet uhin lengpan lengnu Esther koma asei kittai, “Lengnu Esther ipi nadei ham neiseipeh tan, ipiham nathum nom chu? Kalenggam akehkhat hijongleh kapeh ding nahi!” ati.
As they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again said to Esther, ‘Whatever your petition is, Queen Esther, it will be granted to you. Whatever you request it will be done, even if it takes half of the kingdom.’
3 Lengnu Esther in adonbut nin, “Lengpa na mikhoto nahi kachanna chuleh lengpan kathil thum hi neipeh inghy nalung lhaina ahileh, kei hinkho leh kamite hinkhohi hoidoh teijin.
Then Queen Esther answered, ‘Your Majesty, if I have won your favour, and if it seems best to Your Majesty, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request,
4 Ajehchu kamite le keima hi eithatgo ho kom’a suhmang dingleh thagam dingin eikijohdoh taove. Keihohi sohding maimaija eikijoh doh uva hileh thipbeh a kaumdiu ahi, ajehchu hiti themma chu lengpa kasuhboi nomlou ahi.” Ati
for I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and completely annihilated! If we had been merely sold into slavery I would not have disturbed your peace, because such a fate would not have affected the interests of the king.’
5 “Koipen ham hitobang bolla chu? Nangma tongkhaleu va hitobang bolla chu koi ham?” tin Leng Xerxes in adongtai.
Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, ‘Who is he and where is he whose heart has impelled him to do this?’
6 Esther in adonbut in, “Hiche miphaloupa Haman eidouvu le kagalmi paohi hijahime!” Haman chun lengpa le lengnu kom’a chun amai adangleo jengtan ahi.
‘A foe, an enemy: this wicked Haman.’ Esther answered. Haman shrank in terror before the king and the queen.
7 Hiche jouchun lengpa chu lunghang tah in adingdoh in khopi honlei langa chun apotdoh tan ahi. Haman vangchu lengnu Esther in ahinkho ahuhdohna dinga tao dingin aumden tan ahi, ajehchu lengpan amachu ahinghoi louding akihet ahitai.
In his wrath the king rose from the place where he was drinking wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king was fully determined to bring calamity upon him.
8 Alungkham man’in lengnu lupna chunga chun abohkhup jengtan ahileh lengpa khopi honlei langa konna ahung kilekit langtoh akitoh khan ahi. Lengpan asamjah jengin, “Amahin kamaikoh tah jenga jong lengnu hi hitia hi adelkhum jeng ding hitam? Lengpa agah paodoh jouchun alhacha hon Haman chu amanthah nading vetsahnan amai pon in akhu taove.
As the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had flung himself on Esther’s couch. The king cried, ‘Is he going to rape my queen while I am present in my own house?’ As the king spoke these words, the attendants covered Haman’s face
9 Hiche jou chu lengpa dinga nukiso khat Harbona atiuchun ahin seijin, “Haman hin thinglhon amuh hemkhat feet sam sagi le nga a sao aleitolla akoije ati. Hiche chu aman lengpa min athana dinga ana huhdohpa Mordecai chu thana dinga anagon chu ahi. “Hichu ahileh hichea chun Haman chu khailih taovin,” tin lengpan thupeh aneitai.
and Harbonah, one of those who waited on the king, said, ‘There are the gallows, seventy-five feet high, which Hainan erected for Mordecai, who spoke a good word in behalf of the king, standing in the house of Haman!’ The king said ‘Hang him on them.’
10 Hiti chun Haman in Mordecai khailih na dinga anasem thinglhon achun amajoh achu akhailih taove.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king was pacified.
